It is an excellent example of the Flemish desire to paint more than the eye can easily see and almost more than the mind can grasp. This Annunciation takes place in a church, not Mary\u2019s house as we saw in Campin\u2019s Annunciation. Golden letters spell out the angel\u2019s greeting, Hail Mary, full of grace, and Mary\u2019s response, Behold the handmaiden of the Lord. Mary\u2019s words are upside down for God to read.
